Ludwigia Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Looks great! Can you please tell us uninitiated folk what you've got there? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrack Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Looks great! Can you please tell us uninitiated folk what you've got there? I'm just at a loss has you, I'm waiting on an ID from the experts. This was found in the same layer of matrix has a ground sloth bone I found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpevahouse Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The horse jaw is particularly interesting for your area. The early horses, late Pliocene - early to mid Pleistocene, lower molars have a distinctive outside curve to the enamel ridges as yours do. Equus the overall shape of the chewing surface is more squared, the outside edges straight. That's a distinctive, consistent characteristic I've noticed with pre-equus horses. Without actually seeing the jaw I suspect it's not equus but a somewhat earlier species, one of many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get that checked out for sure. The other jaw looks like bison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
